Hmm, the testcase is simply assigning location within onload (the equivalent
of location.replace). The document is getting replaced with a new document,
but the same HistoryItem is being overwritten with the URL of the new
document.
I'm not super familiar with the cached page implementation since Chromium
does not enable it, but if that system assumes there is a 1:1 relationship
between HistoryItems and cached pages / documents, then that could be
problematic.
I'm toying with calling HistoryController::invalidateCurrentItemCachedPage()
in this case, but maybe that would be suboptimal?

The issue comes up well before the <meta refresh> timer expires. I could
remove that bit of the testcase, and the issue would remain. This is all
about issuing a client redirect on a page that has been cached.
